Thank you for visiting
The Heart!

We fell in love with our beautiful community and people the moment we moved here in 2006.  Raydeane is a native Idahoan and Jonathan was born and raised in South Carolina. We have two super cool kids, Seth and Jaymee, and were blessed with two more amazing kids Mikyah and Tofer, when they each married.  We have served as youth/associate pastors in Eureka, California, Boise, Idaho and Vancouver, Washington before God began to stir the beginnings of Heart of the City Church in our spirits. 

We have an amazing team/staff we get to serve alongside.  Our community at The Heart has grown in an extraordinary way over the years with so many precious gifts (people) that are engaged in touching and impacting the lost, hurting, oppressed and neglected with the love of Jesus. We support several countries/missionaries and have church plants in Arizona and Honduras.  The Heart is truly a family that transcends age, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. Together, we are partnering with God to build his Kingdom here on earth. 

We have weekend gatherings on Saturday night and Sunday morning with lots of small groups that meet through out the week:  From our food bank, to our equine ministry, bible studies, and hiking groups…there truly is something for everyone.  God never meant for us to do life alone. We believe we are better together.

We hope your visit to our website is just the first step to you personally finding your place at The Heart. 

Blessings and love,

Pastors JO and Raydeane Owens

Our Distinctives

We love god’s word

We believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God. Therefore, it is the highest authority and final word in our lives.

We Prioritize God’s Presence

We believe that the Holy Spirit is working through the Church in the same way He did in the New Testament Scriptures. Therefore, we seek His presence, listen for His voice, and embrace all the gifts He has given.

We Pursue the Lost

We believe that the great commission is a central mandate for all believers. Therefore, we do all that we do with the lost in mind.

We Empower All Peoples

We believe that both men and women, regardless of age, race, or ethnicity, are called and anointed by God. Therefore, we release them to walk in the fullness of their God-given gifts, calling, and authority.
